Hex Trinity

Liam stood enwrapped within the wind and rain of the northern gale storm, basking it's eyes over the furrowed edge of Japan. The city, nameless to Liam, was a near puddle of stone and ash. One of the first cities to fall a year prior, it has experienced ages of decay over the time cast of months.

Within the highest room of a building, slowly crumbling with the darkness, steel and glass as black as the sky that surrounded the world. After the Reign, every area not covered in crystal walls was nearly black with an everlasting storm, always dark; always night.

Liam had felt the essence of quality power, thick as the fog surrounding them. He stood atop the building, exuding invisible Deathperation flames that would be easily felt, beckoning a call to anyone with the power to see it.

"Woo-hoo!" yelled Elizabeth jumping from rooftop to rooftop. She loved adventure and even if the world was now a void of darkness, she knew when to have fun. After a few more jumps, Elizabeth stopped and looked around. The clouds were still the dark gray color that they had always been, since the Reign started that is. Rain began to pour down on Japanese city, it was actually pretty soothing.

Elizabeth raised her black hood and put it over her head. "This is going to get boring.." thought Elizabeth. Her feet moved towards a door that was surprisingly still in tact. The door was a mysterious black color, it resembled Elizabeth in a sense. Her right hand moved towards the knob, but it stopped when Elizabeth felt the presence of another person.

Her head turning and her flaming blue eye showing, the girl dressed in black looked around. "Show yourself."

Dominic sat in the darkened room, and looked up with a grimace at the voice of someone who dared speak to him. He had admitted to himself it was boring, but to encounter yet another mongrel in his travels was uncalled for. And that fact he was given orders! "You dare speak to me like that!? Zasshu!" Dominic shot up from his seat and kicked the door past its hinges to be greeted by a girl with a peculiar appearance, namely her eye, but he dismissed it as his eyes glowed a menacing red. "You dare stand on the same ground as me!?" Dominic, now enraged, summoned a few portals behind him, weapons emerged from each, revealing their tips, but did not fire. "Mongrels like you belong prostrated on the ground." Dominic scoffed, turning himself around, and fired one of the three portals behind him at the girl, confident he did not need to attack any further.

The walls were thin; an audible voice pierced the silence as two potent energies had quickly diverged upon Liam's location, intersecting their own paths before finding him. A young man's voice, salted with anger and arrogance berrated the other arrival. There was a flash of golden light, and a speeding projectile. However, by the time the first portal had appeared, Liam was already moving. He jettisoned out the window and back into the room beside his own with propelling Deathperation.

Liam then intercepted the projectile with a Soft Sky Flame around him, sucking away the momentum and letting the gilded blade fall to the ground. Liam's fingertip had met the blade, the tip pricking into his finger as the blade was too fast to fully neutralize. However, the way Liam's hand was extended made the trickle of blood down his wrist appear almost intimidating within the darkness, complimented by the sadist's smile he wore.

Liam now stood between a man with golden hair and scarlet eyes, and a homely woman.

"Gilgamesh, hmm?" Liam taunted."As if the powers weren't enough, it must take a die-hard fan to succeed a personality like that. I preferred Lancelot as the superior in that anime".

Elizabeth was startled by the figure before her. The figure revealed to be a male with unfriendly eyes, and his body language revealed him to be quite...confident. The tone of his voice was very formal, but in an unfriendly way.

The male began attacking her with insults, which Elizabeth wasn't too fond of, but she shrugged it off. The more he began talking, the more she felt like leaving the guy. "Sorry! I'm sure you're a nice guy." Elizabeth exclaimed, moving backward. The man the proceeded to call her a 'mongrel'. "Mongrel, I've heard that before, but from where?" thought the blue eyed female.

Sharp blades were about to come in Elizabeth's direction, but another male flew over to them. "Thanks!" Elizabeth stepped back further as the 'flying' man took care of the weapons. One thing that caught Elizabeth's eye was the sight of a red liquid, blood. Let's just say that Elizabeth can be a bit blood thirsty and sadistic.

The brown haired male started talking about someone named 'Gilgamesh' and Elizabeth jumped up for a second. "I remember!" she yelled, thinking about when the confident male called her a 'mongrel'. "Dang, you sure are in character! Wasn't Gilgamesh in Fate/ Zero?" added Elizabeth.

Dominic was surprised by the sudden entrance of another mongrel, and rolled his eyes at their insolence. "That rabid dog was just a thorn in Gilgamesh's side. He was in every way the best Servant!" Dominic turned around, and dismissed his portals, as he was getting bored. "And now, I am Gilgamesh." Dominic sat back down, and summoned a portal which dropped a golden cup, and a golden jar in which red wine poured from it and into the cup. He looked at the two before taking a drink, and sighed, opening a portal next to the two newcomers, holding a cup of wine for them. "Drink if you will." Dominic offered, "Only the best is stored in my Treasury."

Liam rose his hand in a casual manner as if to gesture around. His hand was lazily open, fingers hanging down. This gesture was of olde, denouncing poverty and accepting the wealth presented. In short, Liam offered Gilgamesh his acceptance. The rain washed away the trickle of blood, soaking his right arm. He accepted the goblet, yet did not drink.

"Come now, sir. I know the world has gone to hell, meaning the regulations of youth no longer bind us. Parents are now a mocking authority I can't help but mock back at. However, none of us seem of age, yes? My kidneys will remain pure, yet I am honored, King of Heroes".

Liam bowed his head with the goblet extended outward, a formal and well practiced gesture. Beneath his gaze, Liam's cruel smile had peeked back over his teeth, revealing a horrifying grin.

Liam stood, and turned his body. "And you, my lady. You seem rather upbeat. Would you mind telling me why you heeded the call I sent out? You don't seem to be one for gloomy company such as myself".

Elizabeth started grinning once the golden cup of wine was before her. She gulped the beverage as fast as she could, which wasn't very 'lady-like'. The girl never really had anything to eat or drink at times, which explains her thin body, but whatever she can obtain she doesn't question.

Everyone around her seemed so formal, and...intelligent. She sighed as she soon realized she was the black sheep of the three. Elizabeth put her hood down as the rain hadn't really bothered her all that much. "Um, thank you..." she said to the wine giver.

The unnamed flame-headed 'man' began talking to Elizabeth. "I can't completely answer that, it..just..well..happened? You could call it destiny, but I don't believe in that mumbo-jumbo." answered Elizabeth, looking at "Liam" and "Dominic".

Elizabeth's flaming eye began to kindle a stronger flame. "Being gloomy isn't really my thing. The world has already filled that job. I mean, we all have these new found powers, might as well be cheery about it, right?"

Dominic glared at the man in disappointment, and summoned a portal above the goblet that the man held, and retrieved it in a golden haze. "It is only right I gained the powers of Gilgamesh, I am the only one fit to have them." Dominic scoffed, taking a sip of his drink, before putting it back in his treasury. "So you have all seen my powers and where they come from. But what powers do you possess? Clearly a normal human could not stop my blades." Dominic said, looking toward the man, then switched his attention to the girl. "Or possess an eye like that."

Liam's grin turned from it's hidden blood lust to a casual cheer. He leaned against the pillar beside him which reacted with crumbling drywall. He ran a hand through his thick hair, and the hazy orange flame on his forehead.

"I take it you've never seen my pre-requisite anime, Gilgamesh. I Succeed the Tenth, and that is all I will offer as information. No more am I human, but a human successor. Nothing else to explain. How about yourself, miss?".

"This guy sure is confident, and in character." Elizabeth thought, looking up as she said this. Elizabeth started closing her eyes, and in that moment she thought about how she got her powers to begin with. All that she saw was pitch black darkness, which disappointed her greatly. Her thin legs took her a ledge, where she then sat down on.

"The tenth, huh? Well, let's just say I succeed a 'fairy' named Titania." Elizabeth began to laugh like a lunatic, but stopped shortly after. "One thing I can't really explain is my eye. I don't quite remember how it happened."

Dominic thought about the answers he was given, but not for very long, as he got bored with what he was given. "Hrm.. So you both hold power, and are no ordinary mongrels." Dominic sat up with a sigh, and glared at the two. "Since you seem to not be aware of who you are in the presence of.. I am Dominic Volk, be honored you are speaking to me." With a scoff he added, "Now I ask of you your names, since you have slight above average strength."

"Hm? Oh, my apologies, lord Volk". Liam spoke the words with dripping poison, but still seemingly amused. He lowered his head and bowed and one arm extended; a gentleman's bow. "I had not realized the magnitude of the man I stood before. As for our lovely lady, I speak not for her". Liam reeled his hand around to pull a can from his back pack which strung around his arm, and the satisfying crackle and fizz of a fresh soda could be heard. Be took a sip, setting his drink on a decaying table.

"In regard, I have a proposition for both of you. Lord Volk, I would ask your assistance in a matter of slaying the man who presides within this Coven as it's title "leader"". Liam forced heavy air quotes over the word "leader". "As we know, certain figures have risen to grasp the ruins of these cities for themselves, and have proven their power of considerable worth. I ask your assistance in taking the head of he who calls himself king here". By using the word "king", Liam aimed to ignite an interest in Gilgamesh, he who claims himself the King of Kings.

"And of course, I would never dream of holding my offer away from our beautiful Queen of Fae, Titania Erza. I am certain... You are like me". Liam turned, and stared the woman right in her abnormal eye, with both of his which glowed bright orange, the fire inside creating actual light. "I am sick of being alone, and purposeless. I want to take steps into finding a home, and a reason to exist. I hope... That you can relate. In this world that has gone to hell, will you both stand with me in building above the clouded level of chaos, and finding the life's passion again?".

Liam extended his left arm to Titania Erza, and his right to the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, offering his service to them both.

'Liz' began to grow warm, so she took off the coat and let it disappear into the wind. Once she took off the coat, her smooth porcelain skin was revealed. Her thin structure also showed, although she was quite insecure about this certain feature.

"Dominic Volk, nice name!" Elizabeth exclaimed, jumping up like before. 'Flame-head' and Dominic began talking about the Coven, Elizabeth only looked at the ruins of this run down Japanese city. It must've been beautiful before the Reign, but now it looks like a wasteland. A place where darkness dwells, seeking to find people to take with it.

"I am like you?" answered Elizabeth, to 'flame-head's' comment. She looked at his bright orange eyes, just as he looked at her's. There she saw pain and loneliness, but she also saw a flame of hope. "I, Elizabeth Gladia, will stand by you good sir!" exclaimed Elizabeth, reaching for the 'Tenth's' left hand.

Elizabeth then realized that the 'Tenth' hadn't mentioned his name. "What is your name, Mr. Flame?"

Dominic crossed his arms at the offer, but also grimaced at the fact someone dare be a "King" without acknowledging his superiority. "The acts this "King" has done.. Have sentenced him to certain death." Dominic locked his hands together, and rested his head on them. "I shall personally execute him." He said, and looked around at the two. "You can accompany if you wish." He loosened his grimace, and nodded his head at the flame-headed man as a gesture of thanks. "I share my thanks for bringing such a crime to my attention."

Liam's smile faltered for only a moment. Instead of blood listing and dark, for just a second, it looked sincere. He quickly recovered. Liam gripped the hand in his, and released it. He stuffed a hand in his jacket pocket, and used the other to gesture outward to the stormy city, frigid with rain. "Our man of target lies within this city. The only information I managed to grasp is that his last name is Baxter. He will be easy to weed out".

"As I enter the valley of death, I walk not alone". A quote Liam butchered only slightly. "I pray both of you know what you are getting yourselves into. In two days, meet me in the western ruins of the ramen shop; the one with the giant sign. Make sure you are fully prepared to take what is ours".

"This seems like fun!" Elizabeth exclaimed, gripping onto 'flame boy's" hand before her let go. She then reached for her pocket and grabbed some candy, she then starting eating it. "Can't share, this is too good!"

"Two days, got it!" said Elizabeth, thinking of where to go for those two days as she didn't have shelter. "I guess I could find a nearby home that isn't run down completely." she muttered.

Dominic's face grew a sly smile, and he leaned back with his right leg sitting upon his left. "Everything in this world belongs to me, anyone who says otherwise is just a common thief!" Dominic declared. "Now all we have to do is locate him." Dominic summoned a portal, and from it emerged a chain that Dominic swung in a circle as he looked at the two. "If any of you DO find him within these next two days, I demand you bring me his whereabouts."
